Baby 2 isn’t due until February 2nd (Groundhogs day!), but we got a shock from the doctor on Monday who informed us that Michelle’s amniotic fluid is low and we may be seeing baby much sooner than expected. Today we go back to find out if the fluid level has dropped. If so, Michelle will likely be induced. While we’re both excited to meet her, we’re both hoping she gets to stay in a little longer.
Speaking of pins and needles, Baby 2 was breech until Monday afternoon. Michelle was seeing an acupuncturist to try and turn the baby. During her session on Monday, baby started moving and by the time she got to her other doctor appointment an hour later, baby was no longer breech. Very good news because it means Michelle won’t need a cesarian. Michelle loved the clinic and her experience, and amazingly, our insurance covered it under “complementary” care.
Now we just wait to see what baby 2 wants.
Please tell that baby to wait : ) With I-5 closed there is no way we can get down there to visit. that’s really cool that the baby isn’t breech. C-sections are a pain to recover from! Our prayers are with you guys as #2 waits to enter the world.
Tell her to drink tons of water. I know several people that have been able to increase their fluid levels significantly by doing so.
Oh, and good luck if you need the induction.
Today isn’t the day. We’ll be back on Monday for another non stress test. Her fluid has increased, so that’s good. Baby gets to cook a little longer.
Have baby hold off until January 16. I think that is a good day.
You should have used acupuncture on the chickens when their egg-laying was off.
OK, I think that Friday, January 16 will be the day. I think she’ll come on her own. I am a seer.

16th eh? That may appease Matt, though it won’t make up for not naming either of our daughters “Mattina” in his honnor.
Today’s non stress test went well and we’re now just balancing between benefit of staying in and benefit of coming out.
